inability to articulate what exactly he would do differently than president obama when asked about what his policy regarding israel would be. and i have to quote him here. he said "i'd look at the things the president has done and do the opposite." what a threatening statement that is. he said he wants to do the opposite of president obama. so let's look at what that would really mean. obama blacked palestinian -- obama blocked palestinian statehood when it was brought up in the u.n. he had a big fight on his hands to keep that from happening. so that means that romney as president would allow palestinian statehood in the u.n. he said he's going to do the opposite. record high u.s. aid for israel. he's going to do the opposite, that means he's got to lower u.s. aid for israel. obama, all options on the table for dealing with iran are there. that means that mitt romney if president would use containment of nuclear iran as his yardstick for dealing with this incredible problem. and so, everybody beware, israelis beware. don't be taken in by this and don't let people in america be taken in

familiar with the comment, but i do think that the media did a pretty good job of vetting president obama and in both and senator mccain who was more well-known because he had a longer history in public life, but, you know, the media should be doing a good job in terms of digging into the candidates' past, looking at their policies, especially and trying to give the public a better view of what they get if they elect the people as president. online news helped that and has grown quite a bit since 2008. you have now twitter. you have people posting little tidbits of what they find on facebook and share it with the networks, and you have blogs as well as other online traditional news outlettings like cable news, newspapers b and so forth. the more media that pops up is better. there's citizen journalists out there finding work and posting things online. the more you have out there i think is good. something could be happening or one of the candidates could have visited your local town, something the gnarl media doesn't know about, but you may remember it, have a personalling the of it, phot
